Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times -
In its amiable, quiet, PG-13 way, The Invention of Lying is a remarkably radical comedy.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The performances are razor sharp. And the ideas in this movie are, no kidding, big.

|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
However cheeky and blasphemous, this is, at heart, a rather sweet little fable. Which of course would mean nothing if it weren’t explosively funny.

Miami Herald -
Gervais' wickedly sly concept lingers quite awhile after the final chuckle. And that's the truth.

ReelViews -
It's surprising to admit that the British comedian, known far and wide for his willingness to take risks, plays it safe in The Invention of Lying - a fault from which the movie never truly recovers.
